For Mana’s second game on the DS Brownie Brown turned to Shimomura, composer of the critically acclaimed Legend of Mana and Kingdom Hearts soundtracks. The soundtrack is nothing short of impressive, mixing the unique style of Shimomura with influences from some of the themes created by Kikuta in Seiken Densetsu 3. While in the game itself, the sound is quite substandard due to compression, the CD boasts a high quality sound as one would expect.

Creating a whole new set of melodies, the tracks fit perfectly to all situations in the game, and are varied enough to not get too monotonous. Tracks of particular mention are the heroic main theme “To the Heroes of Old”, the sinister “Ring of Revolving Fate” and the rocking “Battle Vs Celestan”. Whether you’ve played the game or not, you must get this.
